The Apple Black Friday sale has begun, giving you the chance to net savings from Apple through its gift cards and at big discounts across other retailers including Amazon.
Best Apple Black Friday Deals
Various retailers are now discounting Apple tech like the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, and more. This year, it may be wiser than ever to shop the deals early with all kinds of delays and fulfillment problems already creeping in.
We have all the information you need for those looking to score some Apple deals this Black Friday 2021 right here, and we will continue to update this page as we find more.
Where to find the best Black Friday Apple deals
You probably already know this, but Apple isn't too fond of running sales. Instead, Apple is running the usual gift card promotion that it does every year, where you can net up to $200 with select purchases of many of Apple's older devices.
Worry not, though, as Apple products are available at pretty much every major retailer, and that's where you'll find the best Apple Black Friday deals. Retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart are competing for shoppers' attention and dollars during this peak trading time, so they are incentivized to offer some doorbuster deals to get punters in.
We'll be rounding up the best offers on this page, but the below retailers are a good place to start if you want to see the deals each has to offer right now.
- Amazon: expect strong deals across all Apple devices plus price matching
- Best Buy: Big Apple deals with bundled extras
- Walmart: Has offered all-time low Apple prices before
- B&H: Competitive pricing and a wide array of Mac configurations
- Target: 5% extra RedCard savings
- Apple: Go direct to the source for up to $200 back in gift cards
Black Friday iPhone deals
The iPhone is the one product category that sees the least movement in price. That may be because Apple sells millions of units each month without really trying or because many people get their phones on a carrier contract, though that doesn't mean you can't find a Black Friday iPhone deal if you know where to look (hint: it's right here).

MacBook Air (Early 2020) | $170 off
The previous-gen MacBook Air released in spring 2020 is deeply discounted at B&H with close to $200 off its retail price. If you don't need the latest and greatest, it may well be the cheapest MacBook deal right now.

Apple's largest MacBook Pro from 2019 is on sale at Best Buy with $500 off. This machine has been discontinued by Apple following the released of the M1 Pro and M1 Max versions in 2021, though this deal is an affordable way to get a big ol' MacBook.
Mac mini (2018) | $370 off
Get an i3 quad-core processor, 256GB SSD, and 8GB of RAM running macOS Monterey for just $429. What a bargain!
Black Friday AirPods deals
We see AirPods deals throughout the year, so we're expecting something really special when it comes to Black Friday deals. The hot ticket earbuds are sure to be on a lot of people's shopping lists this holiday season, though, so it might be worth snagging an early deal on a set if you see a discount that catches your eye.
AirPods 2 with Charging Case | $29 off
If you don't need the latest AirPods model or just want the most affordable entry point to the AirPods lineup, the now previous-gen AirPods are down to just $100.
AirPods 3 | $29 off
Since they are so new, we didn't expect such a good AirPods 3 deal to be available this Black Friday but you can save close to $30 via Amazon right now. You'll see the final savings at checkout.
AirPods Pro with MagSafe Case | $79 off
Apple only recently updated its AirPods Pro to include a MagSafe-enabled case, and you can already save $90 on a set. We expect AirPods Pro to be a hot ticket item next week, but you can save right now.
AirPods Max | $120 off
A few AirPods Max colorways are discounted at Crutchfield right now with as much as $120 off their regular price. If you've been eyeing up Apple's premium cans, now's a good time to buy.
Black Friday Apple TV deals
Apple TV makes for the best home entertainment experience if you're already all-in on the Apple ecosystem. Whether you're new to Apple TV and want something cheap or want to upgrade to the latest Apple TV 4K, chances are you'll be able to score a Black Friday Apple TV deal in the coming days.
Apple TV 4K (2021) | $19 off

Black Friday HomeKit deals
Smart home aficionados that are well versed in HomeKit already will know that Apple-compatible accessories are often a bit more expensive than the competition. That's why it makes sense to snag a HomePod deal when you can and also makes it worth keeping an eye on the prices of HomeKit cameras and other HomeKit accessories during Black Friday. With Matter coming down the line, it won't always be so expensive to equip your Apple smart home, but you can at least try to save a few bucks in the meantime with these deals.

Unlike the Iota, however, the Gateway in this bundle lacks a built-in camera and Wi-Fi connectivity.
ecobee SmartThermostat | $50 off
The ecobee SmartThermostat is the ultimate combination of convenience and power. Even though it works with all voice assistants, a built-in microphone houses Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri, allowing you to shout out temperature and mode adjustments.

Belkin Wemo Smart Plug Mini | $12 off
Belkin's Wemo mini features a slim profile that won't block the other plug on the wall, allowing two of them to be used in a single outlet.

When will Apple's Black Friday event start?
Black Friday officially takes place on November 26, though the sales start before that date and run for a few days after too. For Apple, it tends to keep its Black Friday sale to a minimum, offering deals from Black Friday through Cyber Monday and that's exactly the case for Black Friday 2021.
Apple's official Black Friday sale began on Friday, November 26 and is set to continue until end of day on Monday, November 29. As it has in previous years, Apple isn't directly discounting products and is instead incentivizing buyers by giving Apple gift cards of up to $200 back following eligible purchases. If you shop directly at Apple a lot, it's a good chance to save on a subsequent purchase.
That being said, since Black Friday takes over most of November, we've already seen a ton of direct price drops on Apple gear at third-party retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, among others meaning Apple's sale might not be the best way to save.
